This body of work is an eclectic gathering of poetry. ( of feelings written down.) It covers a wide range of topics and stirs the emotions of those who open its pages. This wide collection of poems is a comment on the rhythm of life for those who share in it. Annie's poetry is a collection of images, thoughts and insights into the heart of a listening poet. These pieces of work tell the stories of laughter, pain, joy and suffering that is all around us. You will find a reflection on relationships between people, other creatures and all things that breathe. Some poems explore how an object such as a piece of fabric, a rock orchid, a humble spider or the insect world can poke the spirit to tell its story. There is humor in some of these pieces of work; such as 'the constipated Dog', 'Jack' and 'Daddy Long Legs'. Profound sorrow can be found in 'The Empty Billy Can'. 'Never More.' and Mary Ann' These are real people who came with stories for the poet. In the poem, 'In The Kitchen' there is a story of old fashion wisdom and great love. Children too can find a friend in 'The Kangaroo Carer' who takes in injured and orphaned joeys and gives them a loving home. Children are also opened up to the importance of the insect world in ' For The Love Of Little Things' If you are on a search for some faith perspectives you may find 'Listen', Bass Saw Her Go', Jesus wept', ' A Christmas Reality Check' or Obedience' might poke your spirit. The poems that reflect the workings of community you might go to ' A night At The Pub' and a few others. Do you want some thoughts on the importance of walking in the wilderness? 'Reflections On The Pathway.' did it for me. This collection of works have been the result of observation and musings that have stirred the spirit of the poet to write them down. There are many more pomes in this collection that I hope you enjoy.
